PTFE Rod - Natural

PTFE Rod (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

Discover the exceptional versatility and durability of our high-quality PTFE rods. Known for their unmatched combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature, and anti-friction properties, PTFE rods are ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Product Highlights:

• Material: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Surface Finish: Smooth
• Length Tolerance: +/- 3mm
• Temperature Range: -240°C to +260°C
• Protection: Supplied without protective film
• Colour Options: Available in natural (white)

Properties:

• High Chemical Resistance: The most chemically resistant plastic available; very few chemicals react with it.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates effectively from -240°C to +260°C, maintaining its properties across this range.
• Low Friction: Excellent anti-stick surface with a very low coefficient of friction, ideal for dynamic applications.
• Thermal and Electrical Insulation: Excellent insulator with low thermal conductivity and high electrical resistance.
• Weather Resistant: Resistant to weathering, UV exposure, and environmental factors.
• Non-Stick Surface: Naturally non-stick, making it ideal for applications requiring easy release.

Applications & Functions:

• Gaskets and Seals: Ideal for applications exposed to chemicals due to its high resistance.
• Bearings and Bushings: Low friction properties make it suitable for sliding components.
• Electrical Insulation: Used in electrical components for insulation due to its high dielectric strength.
• Piston Rings and Packing Materials: Ideal for components that need to withstand high temperatures and chemicals.
• Chemical Processing Equipment: Suitable for parts in contact with aggressive chemicals.
• Food Processing: Approved for use in contact with food due to its inert properties.

Cutting Service: We offer a free cut-to-size service

If you require a custom size smaller than our standard rods, order the next size up and include your cutting request in the 'message to seller' box during checkout. Alternatively, you can email or call our sales team directly.

Minimum cut length is 75mm. We lose 3mm on each cut due to the blade width. Tolerance is +/-1mm. Limited to 4 cuts per rod. For additional cuts or specific shapes, we will provide a quote before completing the work.

Fabrication, Machining & Shaping:

Our full-service workshop is equipped to handle all your fabrication needs, including CNC machining, cutting, drilling, bending, and welding. Please get in touch with your drawings and requirements for a personalised quotation.
